DNS is what connects your domain name to your website and email. This guide explains what DNS is and how it works.
1. What is DNS?
DNS stands for Domain Name System. It translates your domain name into the server address where your website is hosted.
2. Why DNS is Important
Without DNS, visitors would not be able to find your website or send email to your domain.
3. How DNS Works
When someone types your domain into a browser, DNS looks up the correct server and sends the visitor to your website.
4. DNS Records
DNS records control where your website and email point. Examples include A records, MX records, and CNAME records.
5. Managing DNS
You can manage DNS records from your Client Portal or domain manager.
